Parafed BOP started developing a Youth Programme in 2018. The intentions of this group is to give the opportunity for youth aged 8-21yrs to meet on a regular basis and enjoy some time playing sport and games together.
The ultimate pinnacle for the youth in this programme is the annual Halberg Games hosted by the Halberg Foundation. This is a fun three-day event where youth can compete in the sports they love as well as trying new activities with the chance to meet others from around the country.

There are many opportunities, including inclusive sport activities in school, clubs or community events.e.g Para sports included in AIMs Games for yr 7 and 8's
If you or anyone you know are interested in this programme please get in touch with us.
